Chronology : Post-canon
Headcanon : Star has ADHD
"You're still awake" Star obsevered as she poked her head into her boyfriend's room. It was 3 in the morning and she technically wasn't supposed to be out of her room, but she never was too much of a rule follower.
Jeff just stared at her blankly. He was always awake. She hadn't exactly made some groundbreaking discovery.
"Hey Star" he eventually said. "Did you need something?"
"Couldn't sleep" she shrugged, walking over and flopping down on his bed. "Figured I'd come visit my boyfriend since he also can't sleep"
"Sounds like your boyfriend lives a miserable existence" Jeff chuckled humorlessly. Star frowned. Jeff saw her expression and forced a smile. "Sorry" he muttered. "I'm okay, don't worry"
"Jeff..."
"It just sucks" he said quietly. "I miss just being able to escape the world, even if it's only for a few hours" he told her. "I can't do that anymore... I just have to keep living with it"
"With what?"
"All of it" he replied. "My sister, Courtney... Everything. Everyone. I can't escape it"
"I'm sorry"
"Not your fault" he shrugged, his forced smile dropping away. The two sat in silence for a moment before he shook his head and sat up slightly. "Ack, sorry" he muttered. "Why are you up?"
"Active imagination"
"Figures..."
"Hey, I'm serious!" Star grabbed his pillow and playfully smacked him with it. "I know I tend to swing for the dramatics, but it really can keep me up sometimes"
"Maybe you're an insomniac"
"Oh, the horror!" Star joked and Jeff chuckled and everything was okay in the world because he was smiling again.
She leaned forward and kissed him.
"What was that for?" he said, a giddy smile on his face.
"You're cute when you're cheery"
